Tandra Paparayudu is a 1986 Indian Telugu-language biographical war film directed by Dasari Narayana Rao and produced by U. Suryanarayana Raju under the Gopi Krishna Movies banner. Starring Krishnam Raju, Jayaprada, Jayasudha, Sumalatha, Pran and Mohan Babu, the film is based on the life of 18th-century warrior Tandra Paparayudu, the General of Bobbili, and his conflict with General Bussy. Despite being made on a high budget of ₹1.5 crore, the film was a major box-office failure.[1] It was screened at the 11th International Film Festival of India and won two Nandi Awards.[2]
